Thanks frank.

I guess i should explain that by “environmental monitoring” i mean room environmentals – ie room temp.

I’m fairly certain you can monitor server temps using SCOM.

If the server hardware and the OS provide a way to measure and report the server’s temperature, then a monitoring application could be able to monitor it.

To monitor the room temperature, you would need a device to measure it (a thermometer) and a way to get the measures from such device. Without that, no sofware will be able to monitor it.

This kind of device will probably expose its data through SNMP, but I don’t know if SCOM can use SNMP.

yes i agree with carlosdl you will need a hardware (a thermometer, but i dont remember the name of the hardware) that is able to connect to a software for central monitoring
